1. What Is The Annual Leave And Sick Leave Calculator For Retirement?

This calculator helps determine how much additional service credit you can claim toward your retirement based on your accumulated annual leave and sick leave days.

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Annual\ Leave \) — Number of unused annual leave days
